    Not sure if I understood your request, but maybe do a formula to find the closest match to the volume for each block?

    =INDEX('Container List'!$B$5:$B$34,MATCH(MIN(ABS('Container List'!$F$5:$F$35-F5)),ABS('Container List'!$F$5:$F$35-F5),0))

    After you put the formula in cell, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter for it to take effect. Then drag it down.
    Click the * to say thanks.

    ı need this with makros automatically; when ı enter the dimensions of blocks it should be calculate and prepare the proper container list. at the sample we have a block list with dimensions and gross, and ı need the list(it showed book"container list"= it is a sample) one container(ı send the picture the container dimensions) should be under the 26,5 tonage

    So data (block size) is entered in C:E of Container list - a variable set of blocks ? -and you want to optimise the number of containers with tonnage less than 26.5 per container.

    ???

    yes tonnage should be less than 26,85 tonage, and dimensions should be less than given dimensions on the picture of container

    This is a "Bin Packing" problem and not being a mathematician, I have no idea what algorithm is needed.

    And on a more practical note: it is not obvious to me how the blocks are selected: Is an order placed (as an example) for blocks nos 1,5 and 7 with differing quanties for each?

    See
